The entire race is 1 full race.
One full race is 1.
He ran 3/8 of 1, so he ran 3/8.
He needs to run the rest of the race.
The rest is unknown, so we call it x.
When you add 3/8 to the unknown, you get the full race.
The equation is
x + 3/8 = 1
Change 1 to a denominator of 8.
x + 3/8 = 8/8
Subtract 3/8 from both sides.
x = 5/8
Answer: He still needs to run 5/8 of the race.
Answer:
x is less than or equal to negative 14.
Step-by-step explanation:
so for now we should pretend that the greater than or equal to is an equal sign, and simplify the problem to get x alone on a side
remove 5 from each side
-x/3=1/3-5
-x/3=14/3
multiply both sides by 3
-x=14
x=-14
so we can now replace the equal sign with the equal or greater to, so x is less than or equal to -14
Answer:
0.36427
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean = λ = 18 messages per hour
P(X = x) = (e^-λ)(λ⁻ˣ)/x!
P(X ≤ x) = Σ (e^-λ)(λ⁻ˣ)/x! (Summation From 0 to x)
But the probability required is that the messages thay come in an hour is between 15 and 20, that is, P(15 < X < 20)
P(15 < X < 20) = P(X < 20) - P(X ≤ 15)
These probabilities will be evaluated using a cumulative frequency calculator.
P(X < 20) = 0.65092
P(X ≤ 15) = poissoncdf(18, 15) = 0.28665
P(15 < X < 20) = P(X < 20) - P(X ≤ 15) = 0.65092 - 0.28665 = 0.36427.
